Please help me identify this insect
Please help me identify this insect
I rescued this insect from drowning in a bucket, placed there so it could dry, but I don’t know what it is, I live in Durango, Mexico, thanks!

It's a giant mesquite bug of the genus Thasus, though I'm not sure which species -ahdave wrote: Wed Sep 20, 2023 1:18 am I rescued this insect from drowning in a bucket, placed there so it could dry, but I don’t know what it is, I live in Durango, Mexico, thanks!...

It appears to be Thasus gigas -
In Arizona, Thasus neocalifornicus is quite common -
